DY don't really have the frequency to compete with the big boys at LGW. IMO they'd be better to re-trench their footsteps back to STN and try it from there. I don't really see it lasting.
Er, why?
They have to start from somewhere and there's absolutely no reason why it can't work for them. We'll just have to wait and see.
Also, I can't think of a single reason why they would want to "re-trench" their footsteps back to STN. The passenger numbers are still falling off there.
There are some very good reasons to start a base at Gatwick, one of them being the pretty damn good rail connections to London and the rest of the southeast. The catchment area is larger as well. It's not a decision Norwegian would have taken if they didn't think there was something in it for them.
